80 Meadow Hill, Barrington Hills IL 60010
Property Description
Are you ready for a new lifestyle, a new life, a new self? Wouldn't you prefer to escape today's craziness & own an estate with 5 acres in the most beautiful & quiet town in Chicagoland, the only town requiring everyone to live on 5 acres? Prestigious Barrington Hills (BH).*** This is the perfect time to move to BH because prices in BH should skyrocket as more & more people want to escape Chicago & suburbs for the peace, quiet, serenity, & security of BH. There are so few homes in BH offered at less than $1,845,000 that the scarcity of available homes will cause prices to surge.*** At 80 Meadow Hill, BH, you won't hear planes, trains, semi-trailers, buses, & commercial activities. You'll be 100s of feet away from neighbors. You'll be in your refuge away from the commotion, confusion, & chaos of today's unpredictable world.*** An estate in BH has 3 elements: land, trees, & home. This sanctuary inspired by America's greatest architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, sits on 5 rolling & elevated acres (30 ft above Bow Lane where you can see more than 1,000 ft in the distance; 10 ft above tranquil Meadow Hill Rd) & has 125 evergreens 75-ft tall along the perimeter.*** Turn into your driveway, pass your custom-made iron gates that replicate the gates Wright designed for his national landmark "Wingspread" home in Racine, WI, & feel secure, confident, & proud of your achievements. Walk around your land & hear only singing birds.*** Add to your land your family's favorite recreational facilities: a 3-hole, par 3 golf course, or a 650-ft driving range; basketball, tennis, & pickleball courts; a pool. You'll be a hero to your family & the envy of all of your relatives, business associates, & friends.*** Home highlights. 8-ft wide green marble fireplace in living room with cathedral ceiling. 8 x 8 brick fireplace wall in family room. Walk-in pantry. Secluded primary bedroom and its ensuite spa bathroom have vaulted ceilings. Sunken whirlpool for 2.*** The home includes brilliant Wrightian floor plans, 12-ft ceilings in several rooms, & walls of floor-to-ceiling (F2C) windows in each room to allow panoramic views of 100s or 1000s of feet into nature.*** You'll never feel at a loss for functional space (126 linear ft to hang clothes; 30 x 9 sq ft for sit-down dinners for guests looking out F2C windows) or aesthetic space (a 30-ft long art gallery; stand at the kitchen sink & slowly look 90 degrees right & see out 26 linear ft of windows).*** As a special bonus, the owner will leave the buyer the custom-made art glass windows that replicate Wright's windows for his national landmark Unity Temple in Oak Park.*** The owner has lived here 38 yrs. An architecture enthusiast & Wright afficionado, he has walked inside more than 100 homes Wright designed. He's retiring & moving from IL. He said, "If I didn't love this windowed masterpiece of light & the views of nature from each room during the first 38 months I lived here, I would never have stayed for 38 years. It has given me peace & joy, which has contributed to my good health."*** Reward yourself & your family & live the life you've always dreamed.*** Many people have received high investment returns in recent years. S&P 500: increase in 2025 of 17%; in 2023 through 2025 87%. Increases in 2025 of gold (65%) & silver (130%). Appreciation in homes over the years. We know many people will want to see this home.
